Federal Grant Award Summary

Community Action Agency received a $221,182 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award supports the establishment and operation of homelessness interventions in Jackson, Michigan, enabling the organization to deliver comprehensive housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The funding supports eligible activities under five core program components: permanent supportive housing (including rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, and homelessness prevention. Eligible costs may be applied toward CoC planning activities, unified funding agency fiscal control functions, property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. This award aligns with Community Action Agency's established portfolio of multiple CoC Program grants totaling over $500,000 in concurrent awards and reflects the organization's sustained capacity to coordinate homelessness interventions across Michigan's balance-of-state jurisdictions.
